Palacios was due to fly in Saturday morning to join the team after being forced by the Honduran junta to attend the reception after helping his country to a 1-0 victory against El Salvador which secured their place in the World Cup finals.
Ledley King is fit after recovering from a hamstring problem while long-term injury victim Jonathan Woodgate came through a practice game in midweek but will not be risked. Croatian midfielder Luka Modric has suffered pain and tenderness while trying to jog for the first time since breaking a leg and is likely to be out for longer than expected.
Tottenham (from): Cudicini, Corluka, Huddlestone, Bassong, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto, King, Lennon, Bale, Jenas, Palacios, Kranjcar, Keane, Defoe, Crouch, Pavlyuchenko, Gomes, Hutton, Bentley, Naughton.
